I can't understand negative reviews from people who are not prepared to mention anything to staff during their stay. They allow no chance for things to be put right, then they get home and winge. I find it dishonest, to say the least. This hotel is unique in my experience with a really friendly, intimate feel. As with anything in... more

This is a hotel that is almost impossible to to classify - some things are great, but oh dear some things really arent. Firstly the good. The setting of the building is just perfect, the gardens are beautiful and the public rooms are very pleasant. Our food was excellent, the service was charming and overall the ambience was relaxing. Our... more

As a vegetarian of 20 odd years I was looking forward to being able to choose exactly what i wanted off a menu rather than trying to decide what i could or couldn't eat before being able to choose. In this I was not disappointed at all - the food was delicious with plenty of choice for varying tastes and... more

As always we were warmly welcomed and quickly relaxed into our weekend. Lancrigg seems to attract staff from all corners of the earth but they always major on friendliness. The hotel is set on the edge of the wordsworth wood which we love to walk through on our way up to the tarn and surronding mountains. The place is a... more

On the plus side this hotel is in a superb location and has friendly staff however it is totally let down by its dreadful food which was sub-standard, bland and tasteless. All the food was served on cold plates and nothing appeared to have been freshly cooked.  For example my partners starter of 'hazelenut and cream cheese roulade' arrived as... more

The lancrigg is in the most beautiful location and a fabulous place to go for peace and tranquility. The room we stayed in was stunning and the quality of the bed linen and toiletries was excellent. Although I am not a vegetarian I really enjoyed the food which was of an excellent standard. Service, however, could have been better and... more

My Partner and I stayed at Lancrigg with our 2 Sons several years ago and decided to have a week's break there on our own in early June - big mistake! The hotel is in a beautiful setting and the grounds are lovely, but the room we had was dirty. The curtains in our room (Dickens) had partially fallen from... more

First time for us, but we'll be back very soon! Lovely room (Silver Howe) with a breathtaking view. Staff always friendly and helpful. Food was completely excellent, both in terms of choice and quality. I now believe it is truly possible to add considerable flavour to Tofu!! Breakfast in particular was outstanding, the perfect start to a days 'crag hopping'... more

We ate at the Lancrigg this weekend to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Unfortunately, the memory of our wonderful wedding night here 14 years ago was sullied by the lacklustre service and disappointing food we experienced on this occasion. No sparkling mineral water available at 7pm on a warm Sat evening in June in a half empty dining room, the alternative... more
